StandUp for Kids https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StandUp_for_Kids
StandUp For Kids is a US 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization founded in 1990. Its stated mission is to "End the Cycle of Youth Homelessness". StandUp For Kids is run almost entirely by volunteers and has established 18 outreach programs over the United States. It is dedicated to making a difference to at-risk or homeless kids.[
Founder Richard Koca
2013 article, Richard Koca, co-founder of StandUp for Children, convicted on 22 counts of sex assault
Richard Koca traveled the world as a military officer and do-gooder who co-founded StandUp for Kids, a non-profit homeless-youth charity. But what, exactly, did he do?
Last Friday, 71-year-old Koca was convicted on 22 counts of sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust. The trial was in Arapahoe County; Koca was arrested last September 15 on allegations that he'd repeatedly assaulted a boy under his supervision in Aurora, and that victim made a convincing witness at trial.
As Deputy DA Cara Moran, who tried the case, said in a statement:..
'For more than three years, the victim kept silent regarding the repeated and ongoing sexual abuse he suffered at the hands of the defendant. The strength and courage this child demonstrated in not only coming forward and reporting the abuse, but in facing his abuser during trial is remarkable. He and his family placed their faith in the system to achieve justice and hold the Defendant responsible for his actions, and the verdict today is proof that justice has prevailed.'
Prior to his StandUp For Kids work, Koca spent thirty years in the military, where he was stationed in or visited a wide array of locations in the U.S., plus Panama, Venezuela, Italy and England. In this country, he was a Scout Master for a Boy Scouts of America program, and he volunteered in an orphanage while spending time in England. He was also part of Explorer scout programs in San Diego.
So although Koca's arrest on September 15 came as a surprise -- the investigation had started just a month before -- the Aurora Police Department's announcement that it was looking for additional victims, given Koca's "extensive contact over the past several decades with persons under the age of eighteen through his work with several nonprofit organizations that primarily serve children," was not.
StandUp For Kids, founded in 1990, sends outreach counselors into the street in an effort to assist homeless youth. Koca was on the board of the organization until two days after his arrest last September; at the time, the Atlanta-based StandUp for Kids had branches in 37 cities. Here's the story on the group's founding that was on the StandUp for Kids website last fall:
Mr. Koca is a retired naval officer. Rick joined the Navy at the age of 17, and during the next 30 years was promoted 13 times through 17 pay grades. A highly decorated naval officer, Rick was awarded the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, two Joint Service Commendation Medals, two Navy Commendation Medals, three Navy Achievement Medals, as well as numerous service awards and commendations.
In 1990, with the help of several friends, STANDUP FOR KIDS outreach counselors began walking the streets touching base with the street kids. Now, more than twelve years later, STANDUP FOR KIDS has grown to more than twenty-eight programs in thirteen states.
Now, after more than thirteen years of walking the streets, he can't think of a place that he would rather be. There have been many times when he just wanted to turn his back on it all. He thought it would help relieve the pain he was seeing in the kids on the streets. The pain of his first street kid who said he was HIV positive, the first 12-year-old living in a dumpster, his first youth heroin addict, a 13-year-old prostitute, the first baby living in a cave, and his first 17-year-old who died as a result of AIDS.
Rick said, "this isn't about money, it's about caring!" "What we've accomplished has no price tag. We know we've made the difference in the lives of thousands of kids, I would have paid that price for one"!
Now, this nationally acclaimed program has been recognized on three separate occasions by the White House, the U.S. Justice Department, American Express, the Governor's Office in Arizona twice, the Secretary of State of Colorado, and awarded the prestigious JCPenney Golden Rule Award. Rick has been awarded the George Washington Honor Award for his work with homeless and street kids; the Channel 10 Leadership Award, and was recognized as a finalist for the Edward A. Smith Award for Excellence in Nonprofit Leadership. Rick lives in San Diego and has 3 children and 7 grandchildren in Denver, Colorado.
Today you won't find any reference to Koca on the StandUp for Kids website, but you'll find plenty about Koca on the web.

Speaking of McCann...her father Gerry McCann is pictured here with Ernie Allen http://www.gerrymccannsblogs.co.uk/Nigel/sitebuilderpictures/GerryMcCannwithErnieAllen.jpg - Ernie Allen is one of the attendees at the Sedona Forum . The participant list shows he is part of the McCain Institute's Human Trafficking Advisory Council and also the president of NCMEC. I saw a few voat posts on Ernie Allen, so he could be another person looking into. https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1688257 - https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1458188 - https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1665583 - https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1458188
That's interesting because Mnuchin >> Next Management Corp >> William Crowley >> McCain + Romney

Just spotted this article which raises serious questions about the two U.S., Washington-based Missing Children organisations, NCMEC and ICMEC, run by Ernie Allen, friend of Sir Richard Branson and 'Pedo Island' owner, Jeffrey Epstein.
..I wonder if Gerry McCann's seemingly unecessary visit to the US of A had anything to do with Lady Catherine 'my husband stole my children' Meyer - wife of former British Ambassador to the United States (1997-2003)?
Kate McCann's autobiographical novel follows thus..
As we were walking up from the beach at about 5pm, I had a call from Cherie Blair, in her final days as wife of the prime minister (her husband Tony would announce his resignation two days later and leave office the following month). She was kind and helpful. She told me it was amazing but encouraging that Madeleine was still the first topic on the news every night....
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_Meyer,_Baroness_Meyer
Catherine Irene Jacqueline Meyer, Baroness Meyer,[1] CBE (born 26 January 1953) is a British life peer and the wife of Sir Christopher Meyer, the former British Ambassador to the United States. She was the founder and chief executive of the charity PACT, now, Action Against Abduction.
..In 1998, she co-founded with Ernie Allen Ernie Allen the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC),.[5] In 2000 she created her own organisation PACT, renamed Action Against Abduction, affiliated to NCMEC and ICMEC...
Lady Meyer objects to being called a friend of Theresa May - https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/lady-meyer-objects-to-being-called-a-friend-of-theresa-may-s6cz5wfn8
A Tory peer objected to being called a “personal friend” of Theresa May yesterday and insisted the prime minister was a “closed person”...Baroness Meyer was discussing Mrs May’s premiership in a BBC News interview with Victoria Derbyshire when the presenter made the remark.
Hmm, Victoria Derbyshire sure has come a long way since that interview she did with Ricky Dearman for the BBC.
http://www.actionagainstabduction.org/lady-catherine-meyer-receives-childrens-hero-award/
On 24 February Lady Catherine Meyer, CEO of Action Against Abduction, was presented with the Children’s Hero award, by Sir Bob Geldof. The award was made as part of the Child Rescue Alert Awards, held at BT Tower, London.
How interdasting, I wonder if she ran into Will Draper there?

Martin Sorrell, CEO of WPP posts:
Sir Martin Sorrell and Royal Bank of Scotland have been named in legal action against the manufacturer of cladding installed on Grenfell Tower shortly before last year’s fatal fire. Sorrell, the British businessman who built the advertising firm WPP into one of the world’s “big four”, was a non-executive director of Arconic and its predecessor business from 2012 until March 2017, three months before the fire which killed 72 people.
WPP PLC is in exclusive discussions with Bain Capital LP to sell a majority stake in The Kantar Group Ltd. in a deal valuing the data analytics unit at about $4 billion. The British advertising giant confirmed the talks following earlier reports that Bain Capital had emerged as the frontrunner in the bidding process...Bain is Romney's company...

I don't think Maxwell is a "distraction". The possible loss of thousands of incriminating videos from the house in Venezuela puts her at a huge disadvantage. She may still have many more tapes at her disposal to use as blackmail for her court case. She may give up tapes of Andrew if threatened. My opinion is they will go into the same black hole Weiner's laptop.
As an aside, the state is showing details about some of Maxwell's hidden wealth in order to argue against bail -

I'm not saying she is a distraction. I'm saying that it's possible that the reddit story that the user maxwellhill there is Ghislaine Maxwell is a distraction story.

It might have made the Daily Mail, but it's got "conspiracy theory conspiracy theory conspiracy theory" running right the way through it. The publishers know the average Daily Mail reader is conditioned to not believe anything that they use the trigger words conspiracy theory to describe.
